What a crazy couple of months we have had! So many celebrations all at once, Jim is retired after 36 years as an Army Pilot. We had a retirement ceremony in Concord N.H. With all of our family including our Daughter Amanda and her family who live in upstate N.Y. There was so much to be thankful for on that very special day!
This was taken at the ceremony, Jim is on the far right.
This was Jim’s very last flight in the Blackhawk helicopter. He flew this for many years including flying medivac in Iraq as well as in N.H. When he landed and taxied in the Concord fire department was there with water cannon’s being sprayed as he taxied underneath. It was an incredible sight.
We came home and many of our neighbors had signs in front of their homes congratulating Jim for his service, we are so fortunate to have an amazing group of neighbors!

We did lots of celebrating that week including Easter with all of our family and then a couple of weeks after that we celebrated Birthdays. It has been an amazing and exhausting few weeks.
I need to move on as I can go on and on about our past couple months!
I recently came across the company Yum Crumbs that make the most delicious crumb topping. They Taste just like the ice cream bars with the strawberry crunch on them. The company makes several flavors, I purchased the strawberry shortcake, chocolate eclair and caramel apple to start. I just placed a second order for two gluten free flavors. I made these chocolate dipped strawberries a couple of times. Some I dipped in just the white chocolate but most of them got a dip in the strawberry shortcake yum crumb topping but I did not stop there, I made a few for one of our neighbors but I added a pipette filled with strawberry vodka into the dipped berries! The possibilities are endless with the various flavors. I’m seeing caramel dipped apples, cake toppings, pie topping….my mind is buzzing with so many things I can create!
INGREDIENTS
Strawberries
Ghirardelli melting chips, I used the white

DIRECTIONS
Simply melt the white chocolate chips according to package directions and dip the strawberries in the melted white chocolate then roll in the yum crumbs and place them on a foil covered baking sheet that has been sprayed with non stick spray and cool until set.
